The wind's still blowing hard. Our wind generator is putting so much power into the batteries we haven't had to put the generator on for 2 days and that was only to heat the water.
We didn't do much during the day – some internet and David checked and serviced the autopilot drive. Turning the wheel seems much lighter now so his fine tuning and oiling of the gearing was a success.
A pleasant surprise when we went to collect the Osos to go over to the CNC yacht club to watch the rugby finals; Tahina is on the dock next to Oso and Frank and Karen had just returned from a trip to Italy. It's almost 2 months since we said goodbye to them in Denerau so a treat to say hello, albeit briefly as they were too tired to come to the rugby, and sad to say goodbye again as they head to Australia in the next few days and we're leaving the anchorage tomorrow morning.
I digressed. The rugby finals between NZ and France was lustily contested in the yacht club with 40 cruisers from the NZ ICA rally and the other foreign crews shouting for the All Blacks and the French supporters in the minority. There was a loud hurrah! When the whictle blew and NZ had won.
